Gene Increases Risk in Breast Cancer Families

Gene Increases Risk in Breast Cancer Families, carry a faulty version of the CHEK2 gene have a greatly increased risk of breast cancer - according, Medicine (LSHTM) and Breakthrough Breast Cancer Research Centre ascertained the incidence of breast, cancer (affecting both breasts). These women were tested for a possible breast cancer gene called, with breast cancer. But six of the seven women who carried the faulty version of the gene had at least one first degree relative with breast cancer. Study leader Professor Julian Peto, based at LSHTM, says

‘Ecologically diverse’ breast cancers more likely to be deadly

‘Ecologically diverse’ breast cancers more likely to be deadly, , 2011) Breast cancers which are particularly complex and diverse, as judged by a test used, used by ecologists with a powerful cancer imaging technique to pick out cancerous cells from normal cells in tumours. The test identified several particularly aggressive subgroups of breast cancer, PLoS Medicine today (Tuesday), and was funded by the ICR itself, Breast Cancer Now, the Wellcome, on Darwinian natural selection principles, we can predict survival in some breast cancer types even
